It?s not unusual to find some red wine and sake at Dawns Day Spa. The libations aren?t for drinking, though; instead, they provide the added power behind many of her facial and body treatments. For instance, the Dermalogica-trained aesthetician manipulates the antioxidants found in wine to repair sun-damaged skin, and she reduces hyperpigmentation with a potent combination of sake, lactic acids, and fruit enzymes. Of course, not all of Dawn?s treatments involve alcohol; her instant face-lift sends oxygen deep into skin cells with restorative vitamins, acids, and duct tape in tow, and her hot peel detoxes dehydrated cells with enzymes and cinnamon. Below-the-neck areas get in on the beautifying action too, with contouring liposuction alternatives that help clients shed inches and erase cellulite dimples.

White Lotus Day Spa encourages tranquility and rejuvenation through soothing body treatments, waxing, spray-tanning, and organic, all-natural skincare services. But it also encourages beauty by being beautiful itself. The spa?s front area lets in loads of light, thanks to a curved wall that?s made up of floor-to-ceiling windows as well as ornamental fixtures hanging from the ceiling and candles flecking the finely stained wood cabinetry. Blue and brown walls backdrop pottery, which evokes the beauty being sculpted beyond. With more than 30 types of natural chemical peels, the highly trained aestheticians can help keep skin in the best possible health, whether the client?s concern is overcoming hyperpigmentation or reversing the signs of aging. Customized massages, reflexology, bamboo chi infusion therapy, and foot detoxes help clients feel their best without sprawling out on the area rug to revel in its softness in front of the other guests.

This peaceful, private, ocean-viewable day spa, led by owner and licensed aesthetician Alana, helps clients improve the health and appearance of their skin with more than 50 different all natural and organic skincare product lines. The Image Skincare customized facial rejuvenates and relaxes clients with a complete skin analysis and choice of products, followed by a deep cleansing, gentle exfoliation, light extractions, and high-frequency treatment. Countenances conclude pampering with a custom mask or light chemical peel and a face, neck, hand, and shoulder massage that releases stress like a deleted umlaut. This deal also includes a 1–2 week take-home supply kit of Image Skincare products to prolong the facial benefits ($25), as well as a consultation to determine which shades of mineral makeup suit your skin tones best.

The highly trained medical staff at OC Medical Aesthetics and Skin Care rewind years off of faces with noninvasive alternatives to surgery. The Refinity glycolic peel excavates fresh faces in 30 minutes with a nonirritating formula that exfoliates away comatose skin, aiding in the reduction of fine lines and brown spots with little to no peeling. Patients' skin may be slightly red after the procedure, but the discoloration can be easily covered with makeup or the "undo" feature on Electric Pencil.

OC Laser Lipo's staff contours bodies with effective and painless treatments, which is why both of its offices are outfitted with only Zerona and Dazzle Light systems. During FDA-approved Zerona treatments—which were featured on The Dr. Oz Show—five rotating cold lasers dance across target areas, such as the love handles or back rolls, to rupture fat cells at the subcutaneous layer. The body's lymphatic system then naturally absorbs the fluid leaked from the cells, causing figures to begin slowly dwindling down. Working in a similar way, Dazzle Light employs 144 high-power LEDs to pinch inches while also smoothing the appearance of cellulite, specifically on areas where the skin has begun forming into unsightly portraits of Gary Busey.
